Two quick questions - at the time of her 30th, did the public know about her and Ari being more than just friends? Also...wasn't it around this time that rumors started swirling about CP Victoria and Prince Nikolas?

Prince Felipe was supposed to attend but becuse it was just after 9/11 he cancelled

some more of the first dinner

Then in 2001 the press was still totally on the Victoria-and-Nikolaos-must-get-married-because-they-look-so-good-together track ;-) and one paper even wrote that Frederik was the designated chapperone to avoid them beeing pictured alone ;D
In the backround you can also see Count Flemming of Rosenborg (Märthas godfather) and Countess Ruth, both always attended all celebrations in Norway, Ruth still does.
